Is my impression accurate that the requirement to use a freq/res
combination is to simply edit the file with the appropriate settings? As a
side note, I attempted, yet again, to work this problem out and after I got
the video to work again (ehem...) the mouse now shoots back and forth
accross the top of the screen regardless of my input. I don't call that a
fair trade. :-/ Maybe I'm just one of those people who are better off
using pencil and paper.

<BR><P>I tried redhat 4.2, and 5.0, and after getting sick of things
not
<BR>working <BR>,and since i could get "support" for debian I installed
debian.
<BR><P>Yes I do wait 6 months for the newest debs, and that does kinda
of annoy
<BR><BR>me, but the reason it takes so long is that want to get as mnay
bugs
<BR>out
<BR><BR>as possible, and I admit it works. It is very stable.
